The changing face of Searcy Arkansas Country Club area....The Dominion

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Advantage

Less than six months ago, the area in front of Searcy Country Club was wooded, filled with soaring pines and deer and skunks and opossums and other wildlife.

Then we noticed heavy equipment out there clearing the area.  Then we noticed surveyors planning roads and a subdivision.  Hubby came home one day and said, "Well, the lots just took a big jump in price because they hit solid rock where they're trying to dig for the sewer lines." 

Driving by it each day has been interesting.  Today I snapped a picture of their pretty little gate-house.  It will be Searcy's second gated community and the first with a gate-house.  What the gate-house will be used for is a mystery.  Perhaps it's just looks.

Gated subdivision

It is attractive though!  I love the copper that is shiny and bright right now and the little spires on the top are charming.  I could almost do a sequence of how to build a fence.  They are putting up concrete blocks and then covering with native stone as you can see in this picture.  The name of the subdivision is The Dominion. 

It's Searcy's latest and possibly fanciest subdivisions.  I'll be watching its progress and hoping to be able to sell a lot or two!!  If anyone reads my blogs and remembers my skunk hunts you'll understand why the animals came to my house.

I love the combination of copper and stone. The windows also give it a certain appeal. They've made the gatehouse quite attractive as opposed to the standard eye sores I see around here.

I love the gate house and spires!  I am also into the look of stone to set the stage for an upscale community!

Suesan, copper is so pretty to begin with and then it darkens and is hardly noticable as copper.  Unless someone wants to polish it which would be difficult!  Thanks for comment.

Jim, bet you have lots of upscales in Atlanta!

Mary, they say they've already sold some lots.
